This is a spinoff of the original Goblin's Trilogy. In the aftermath of Matilda's death, the new goblin queen, her granddaughter Hella, is left with the overwelming task of meeting her own expectations. Struggling with grief and the feeling that she is failing to match her grandmother's greatness, she commits the worst sin a goblin ever could in the Underground. She shows weakness. Odd's son, Fenrir, and his siblings are quick to snap at her bared throat and rip everything Hella has ever loved and wanted from her. Only six months into her queenship, Hella is left with nothing. She flees the Underground in shame, seeking the refuge of the Autumn branches with her two lovers, the elf Lias, and Snorri's daughter, Kara, at her heels. However, in the Autumn Branches, she does not find the peace she wanted, but a creature with a terrible power filling the void Athane's death left behind as the god of memory. The young god offers to let Hella wade through the river of time to stop her cousins from tearing apart the empire, but this bargain will carry a great and deadly price. A price that will pit her against the very grandmother she idolized.

"They become like us, but beautiful. Dangerously beautiful. Oh yes. And they can make the sky do their bidding. They cast spells with their music that can take away your willpower. And their hair . . . is the color of blood." *** There's a legend in the Amazon that tells of attractive and dangerous shapeshifters known as Encantados. When Sofia Aguilar meets one in the flesh, her life is turned completely upside down. Can she reunite a legendary shapeshifter with his past without losing touch with her own reality? *** "We call them . . . Encantado." The word was familiar, yet it tickled Sofi's inner ear in a way that only foreign sounds could. It felt like a name from another world. Somewhere far and lost. Somewhere that should have never been or perhaps might never be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stunning cover done by the exceptionally talented @LigiaNunes Copyright © 2015 by Coco Nichole

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.
